Grace Point! March 2015 | Page 3

Hello to all readers! First, I want to thank you for clicking on the link that brought you to this magazine. New this issue: Notes from Rebecca The magazine is expanding!!! There are a lot of new features this month!! New page titles to look for are: Sons & Maidens, In the Potting Shed, Women in Scripture, The Philippi Prospect, The Prayer of…, and Patchwork Promises. I want to draw your attention to the page titled Young Christian Mom. This is a continuing story of a young woman who suffered abuse at the hands of her child’s father, and her journey out of that environment. Her story begins in the January issue, and will continue until she has told it the way the Lord leads her. It will tell how she lived with domestic violence because of drug abuse, and how God has used it to show Himself to her. She is also my daughter, and some of what she writes I am hearing for the first time, or in greater detail than I previously knew. I especially encourage all the young people to read her story as it unfolds month by month. Also new this month, in the Spotlight On category, we have two international contributors: author Retha Groenewald, from South Africa; and homeschool mom and teacher, Melanie Baker-Nash,from Australia. Thank you, ladies, for a glimpse into your lives! The purpose of this magazine is for help, hope and encouragement toward our fellow man. It is about promoting Godly endeavors and Godly results. It is not about judgment, or whether our beliefs are the same or not. The adversary is about division and subtraction; God is about multiplication and addition. We are our brother’s keeper! Our prayer is that there will be a blessing for each reader among these pages. God bless each and every one! Shalom. Sincerely, Rebecca Matthews Founder, administrator, and ordained minister at Philippi Prospect Ministries Editor in chief of Grace Point! eMagazine Photographer and curator at StillWorks Imagery 3
